Nine and Three Halves!

D'oh, with the halves! I just crossed off get more work clothes. Since I just ordered some new work pants, and I got a few sweaters not too long ago! It's a step in the right direction.

Then I also half crossed off throw away (or give away) things we don't use/need. I have filled a couple bags with clothes to take to the Salvation Army box, but I can probably fill a couple more once Jeff goes through his stuff too. We haven't made a delivery yet. And I gave away a dresser to friends. So that totally counts! I'll cross it off the rest of the way when we actually take the bags to the collection box.

I cooked tonight. Shake N Bake, but it counts! It was really good too. I updated a couple other monthly things I think but now I can't remember specifically. Tomorrow is supposed to be date day, I think we're going to a movie. Not sure what we're seeing, but my guess is Role Models. Possibly the new Madagascar movie.

The Monthly Wrap-Up

Here's the update you've all been hanging on the edge of your seats for. I'm so sure. :)

25. Save $1 a day so I will have $1,001 at the end of this challenge!
Still going.
28. Maintain the illusion of cleanliness a little each month. (3/33)
I bought a Swiffer Duster, and was actually disappointed that it didn't do the dusting for you. Like, the commercials kind of made it sound like my dust would just jump off the shelves onto the fluffy rag thing. That did not happen.
36. Keep car at least MOSTLY cleaned out. It’s not a junk drawer. Clean it inside and out once every 6 months (0/5)
Yeah I kind of planned to do this in October, didn't I? Heh. Well now I will shoot for November.
44. Spend some time outdoors at least one weekend each month. Even in winter ones. Even if it’s only 15 minutes and I’m shoveling.(3/33)

54. Cook more: 1 real (my version of “effort somewhat required”) meal a month (3/33)
Shake N' Bake counts.
57. Date more: at least one outing (or possibly in-ing) that counts as a date every month. (3/33)
I almost didn't count it at first since we argued the whole time. lol! But we went and saw Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist.
81. Keep reading, and keep track of what you read!
I updated my list in the sidebar of my other blog. I think that's the only realistic way to do this, maybe.
87. Blog at least once every other week. Two in a row to make up for missed posts is totally allowed. (5/72)
November is totally taken care of, considering it's NaBloPoMo! Look over here: http://sarahthings.wordpress.com/

88. Successfully finish NaBloPoMo (blog every day in November) once.
89. Try every year (1/3)
90. Successfully complete Holidailies (blog every day in December) once.
91. Try every year (0/3)

99. Buy and donate gifts for the (is it Toys for Tots?) tree things at a store each Christmas. (’08, ’09, ’10) (0/3) Soon! I can't wait, this is actually pretty fun.
100. Celebrate this lists’ milestones! Do something special after you complete a total of 25, 50, 75, and the final item(s)! (0/4) I think I'm still hovering at 8 and 2 halves.
101. Check off items on this list as I complete them, and blog about it! Or at least blog the bigger items. Of course.
